In a series of tweets, Trump said news outlets have not highlighted the ways he believes the charges exonerate his campaign from colluding with Moscow's election-meddling efforts."Funny how the Fake News Media doesn't want to say that the Russian group was formed in 2014, long before my run for President. Maybe they knew I was going to run even though I didn't know!" the president tweeted.

The White House is facing major backlash for its handling of domestic abuse allegations against former staff secretary Rob Porter.

Porter resigned last week, but chief of staff John Kelly reportedly knew for months that Porter had not obtained a full security clearance due to the allegations from two of his ex-wives.

The president tweeted on Saturday that "lives were being shattered by a mere allegation."

Peoples lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation. Some are true and some are false. Some are old and some are new. There is no recovery for someone falsely accused - life and career are gone. Is there no such thing any longer as Due Process?
